Two decades of plans.
A small team in Omaha.
We don't run rolling listings. When we hire, we hire carefully — so this page is your front door. Read on to get a feel for the studio, and when you're ready, the application is a short conversation, not a form.
A small studio
with a long memory.
We've been drawing house plans since 2002 from a studio on the western edge of Omaha. In the two decades since, we've drafted thousands of homes — farmhouses in Iowa, lake houses in Minnesota, coastal cottages in the Carolinas.
The work is quieter than it sounds. Most days are spent at a desk with a screen and a coffee, walking through elevations one line at a time. Every plan ships with the same care we brought to the first one — which is to say, more than the market usually asks for.
We don't chase headcount. We hire when a role opens and we're patient about it. The team is small enough that everyone ships their own work and big enough that no one has to do every job.
A small studio.
We actually enjoy it here.

A place to do
your best work.
Good benefits won't make a bad studio fun to work in, and great ones don't guarantee the work is any good — but we've tried to make both the work and the way we work worth showing up for.
A team you want to be on.
A supportive, creative environment with a passionate group of people who actually like spending the day together.
Flexible, human hours.
Core hours are 10am – 3pm. Beyond that, you set the schedule that lets you do your best work.
Real work, real growth.
Hands-on experience across a range of projects, with the room to stretch into new roles and keep learning.
Work that actually matters.
You'll ship plans that real families build real homes from. We care about design and we care about the people on the other end of it.
Four things, more or less.
We don't care which school you went to, which stack you grew up on, or how long your résumé is. We care about these.
Team collaboration
The best plans come out of the room, not one desk. We lean on each other, argue when it matters, and sign our names to the final drawing together.
Good communication
Drafting is half the job. The other half is being clear — on calls, in emails, in the comments on a marked-up plan. We look for people who say what they mean and listen for what everyone else means.
Organization / Time management
Plans live in files, contracts, and conversations scattered across weeks. We hire people who hold the thread, meet the deadline, and don't drop a detail along the way.
Willingness to learn and teach
The software changes, the codes change, the techniques change. The best people pick up new things fast — and pass what they know to the desk next door.
